Hee Hee!! Try saying that really fast 10 times. I just finished up this medium soaker today and it's winging it's way to California tomorrow. The body is kettle dyed Fisherman's Wool and the trim is natural Patons Merino.

I started this quilt last January for Michael's grandparents as a gift for their 60th wedding anniversary. It took me almost 9 months to complete it but I am beyond thrilled with the results. It is a crazy quilt pattern with wide border. If you look closely in the second picture you can see a bit of the border. The fabric has hearts and doves on it -- very appropriate for an anniversary gift, don't you think? A very wonderful and talented lady, Char Koppenol of Allendale, MI, quilted it on her longarm. These are the best pictures I have of it right now as we forgot our camera the day we visited to see the quilt actually ON the bed.

It's been several weeks since I blogged because I was busy finishing gifts and making preparations for our trip to Michigan to visit family and friends over Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time and spent a lot of time with some very special people. :) Here are just a few pictures from our trip:
